“You are,.. a spiritual mom!”
Maria, A Cambodian/Swiss, third year medical student said to me, when we met for mentoring last week. Sometimes I catch myself thinking that I am not very cool. I never completed a computer game, I don’t follow tick-tok and don’t remember the names of famous actors. Do you think you are not interesting to the younger generation? The truth I discovered - younger women in our church put themselves on a waiting list in order to be mentored by an older woman. For the last 7 months I have been meeting with a small group of women from the UK, Cambodia, USA and South Afrika to point them to Christ in their circumstances, be a listening ear, answer theological questions and provide biblical perspective based on experience of my slightly longer walk with God than their own. Nothing fancy and yet it has been lifegiving and significant! Please pray we will continue building each other up as we meet together and one on one through the spring.
